Get Your Free, Supervised Osteopathic Treatment Today!

At the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy, we’re proud to offer free osteopathic treatments to the community provided at our not-for-profit student clinic days.

Osteopathy is a non-invasive, safe, and effective approach to a variety of issues, and can help with problems such as back, neck, and shoulder pain, headaches, fatigue, chronic pain, and more. Osteopathic Manual Practitioners do this through restoring proper structure of the body so it can self-heal and self-regulate and function optimally.

The CAO’s FREE Student Clinic days provide free osteopathic treatment to the communities of Hamilton, Ontario and Calgary, Alberta. Osteopathic care is available in 30-minute appointment slots. Our students practice their skills on patient volunteers and are supervised by professional Osteopathic Manual Practitioners.

The CAO has provided over 100,000 FREE treatments across its clinics. That adds up to over 8 million dollars in osteopathic care given to our local communities!

Patient volunteers can come to the clinic for an assessment or for ongoing care. CAO students give back to the community while progressing through their education at the school and developing their clinical skills in an environment that benefits everyone.

Here’s what some of our past patients’ have had to say about the CAO Free Clinic:

I totally enjoy my experience with the CAO clinic every student is gentle, friendly, and help relieve the pain I experience on a daily basis. My mother made an appointment for me because she also comes for treatment! and we are both very pleased with the results from your clinic. Thank you for this awesome opportunity to come and be healed by these wonderful students

– Penny Casini

I have only positive things to say regarding the CAO! My main issue is lower back pain. The treatments given by the friendly students are effective and pain-free. I honestly always feel much better! The appointments are 30 minutes and are booked according to MY schedule, and are totally FREE!! Thank you!

– Lori O.

I first started going to the CAO Student Clinic, as I had been having ongoing mid-back pain.  I had tried chiropractors, and massage therapists and both provided little (and very short-term) relief.  Since I have been going to the CAO, I have found that I always get some relief from the treatments, and that relief lasts longer and longer between visits.  The students are terrific – very knowledgeable, and I feel very confident in the treatment I am receiving.  I would highly recommend osteopathy and the CAO Student Clinic to anyone!

I actually started at McMaster with my kinesiology degree, spent some time working with some physios. I just really wasn’t liking some of the answers I was getting, so I spent some time with an osteopath, and I really just appreciated the thought process and the principle-based understanding of osteopathy, and I, for the first time, started to see patients getting better, and to me, that spoke volumes.
